Here is a simple, easy-to-make pastry that is absolutely delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 round of chilled Brie Cheese, 6-8 oz.
- 10 inch round of puff pastry
- 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- 10 inch round of puff pastry (rolled out to 1/4 inch thickness)
- 1 whole egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of cold water
Directions
- Place the puff pastry dough on a lightly floured surface
- With a rolling pin, roll the dough quickly to a 1/4 inch thickness (working quickly with the dough will keep it cooler, allowing it to become more flaky)
- Using a brush, brush the beaten egg to lightly coat the dough. This will act as the glue
- Place the chilled brie in the center of the dough
- Fold the dough over the sides of the cheese, pleating the upper edges to fit snuggly around the cheese
- Punch the dough together in the center to form a seal
- Brush the outside of the dough evenly with the egg wash
- Place on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes
- Preheat oven to 375°
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp
- Let rest for 5-10 minutes
- Transfer it to a platter and serve it with cracker and your favorite compote or jam
and Enjoy!
